Palin About to Hit the Iceberg?
Posted in: 2012 Election, Corruption, Palin, The Cadillacs
Alaskan Sarah Palin authority (and occasional BRAD BLOG guest blogger) Shannyn Moore, who originally broke the news at HuffPo today, tells me she believes, with good reason, that there is an "iceberg scandal that’s about to break. She’s doing damage control."
She says Palin is "resigning as part of damage control" due to a scandal this is "not of a family nature."
"The governor would not be able to continue her job when it comes out," she told me on the phone just now, before adding: "Why would Mark Sanford not resign, but Sarah Palin did? Her family didn’t even know about the resignation until they were standing with her by the lake" when she made her announcement.
Yes. It seems another shoe, apparently a big one, will indeed be dropping, likely within the next week or so. Perhaps earlier now that everyone will be poking around up there.
Bill Kristol is kidding himself if he thinks this is a "shrewd move" on Palin’s part. That press conference and everything about this make Mark Sanford look like a master of public relations. Nobody springs a "surprise resignation" as a way to guarantee an orderly transition just because you decide you don’t want to run for re-election. It doesn’t even make sense on the face of it.
It’s more like something you do because you cut a deal with a prosecutor.
